The Spokane Police Department is seeking help from community members in identifying a suspect in an arson that caused extensive damage to a local business. On May 15th, 2024 at just after midnight, 911 received multiple calls about a fire. An unknown subject started a structure fire in the 1000 block of West Shannon Avenue.
